For nearly 30 years, Esther has been a journalism and English teacher at the public Palo Alto High School, where she is credited with building the journalism program from a group of 19 students with one typewriter in 1984 to the largest high school journalism program in the country. The media studies program now has more than 600 students, five additional teachers and produces 10 publications. The Palo Alto school board voted to build a new 25,000-square-foot media center for the journalism program, to be completed in December.
